With over <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/youtube-1-billion-monthly-podcast-users\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one billion monthly podcast users<\/a>, the platform is now rolling out a <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/03\/17\/podcasts-tab-youtube-android-tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dedicated \u201cPodcasts\u201d tab<\/a> on Android TV and Google TV apps. This feature makes it easier for users to discover and access podcasts on their TVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What&#8217;s new?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While the first appearance of the tab is unknown, the \u201cPodcasts\u201d sidebar is being more widely integrated into YouTube\u2019s TV interface for Android TV. The tab appears between the \u201cMovies &amp; TV\u201d section and \u201cSubscriptions\u201d, making it easier to quickly access podcasts without having to manually search for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/03\/YouTube-Android-TV-podcasts-tab-2.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><em>Image credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/03\/17\/podcasts-tab-youtube-android-tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">9to5Google<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Podcasts within the tab function similarly to regular YouTube videos, without additional podcast-specific features. However, this means that it does still support video chapters if the original upload includes it-\u00a0 making it easier to navigate long-form content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>YouTube&#8217;s podcast and TV dominance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature signifies YouTube\u2019s dominance in the podcasting space as the go-to destination for podcast discovery and consumption. The platform recently announced that it has over <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/youtube-1-billion-monthly-podcast-users\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one billion monthly podcast users<\/a>, with over <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/youtube-introduce-new-feature-as-tv-views-explode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">400 million podcast listening hours<\/a> from living room devices alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/youtube-is-the-new-tv-and-bigger-than-on-phones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TVs surpassing mobile as the primary way people consume YouTube<\/a>, there is no wonder why the platform is aiming to enhance the podcast experience on TV to complement its dominance across both podcasts and TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"fLSpmUP9Li\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/youtube-1-billion-monthly-podcast-users\/\">YouTube just hit 1 billion monthly podcast users<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;YouTube just hit 1 billion monthly podcast users&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/youtube-1-billion-monthly-podcast-users\/embed\/#?secret=fLSpmUP9Li\" data-secret=\"fLSpmUP9Li\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By adding a dedicated podcast tab to TV, YouTube is emphasizing its commitment to improving the podcast experience, making it easier for audiences to watch, listen, and discover podcasts on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/what-is-youtube-content-id\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Distribute your music to YouTube Shorts and get features in creator videos worldwide with RouteNote.
